TIFF actually isn't a compression scheme, it's a tagged file format, and
one _can_ specify jpeg compression of images in a TIFF file.

Perhaps it would be better to say one should avoid _lossy_ compression
schemes on scans with crisp edges or large areas of solid color.  These
are areas where jpeg will add visible noise.
